The registration will be limited to valid UCC students only, and to one laptop, and one PDA per person. You will need to re-register at the start of each academic year.

All users of the service are required to keep their Operating Systems fully patched and up-to-date. Anti-Virus software must also be updated. Users who do not update the software on their computers are liable to be disconnected from the network.
